Hi there,
I’m trying to display size options (like S/M/L) in square boxes instead of color swatches on my product page using the Flow theme. Even though I’ve set the variant option to "Size" in the admin, it still shows as color swatches.
For example, I’d like customers to see clear size boxes when selecting something like a full sleeve t shirt, but currently it only shows visual swatches instead of text. I'm a beginner, so any step-by-step guidance would be really helpful.
Hi @elizathompson 👋 check the theme settings, and check the docs
After that it's an advanced theme customization beyond the scope of the forums when a theme doesn't have some specific granular setting such as a way to use non-color/colour options in place of color/image swatches which is specifically intended for visuals not arbitrary text.
If you need this customization taken care of then contact me for services.

If you're open to using an app, I’d recommend Easify Product Options. It allows you to create flexible option types — so you can show Color as swatches and Size as clean, text-based square boxes. You can fully control how each option looks, and the setup is super beginner-friendly with no code required. Here's how it works:
You can also change the button shape, label, or even assign add-on prices to the options.
This app is very beginner-friendly, if you need any further assistance or have any questions, feel free to reach out! 🤗
